If ‘→’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [sick → infirm → moribund] is analogous to [silly → _______ → daft].<br>
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Correct Answer: D
Question 1 Explanation:
Sick → infirm → moribund: This sequence represents increasing severity of illness, with “sick” being the mildest and “moribund” being the most severe, close to death.
Silly → vain → daft: Similar to the first sequence, “silly” is the mildest form in this sequence, indicating a lack of good sense or judgment. “Vain” represents a more intense level of foolishness, often associated with excessive pride or self-importance in a way that is lacking in substance or value. Finally, “daft” is the most extreme, implying significant foolishness or even absurdity.
Therefore, “vain” best maintains the logical relationship within the second analogy as “infirm” does within the first analogy. The other options don’t follow the same pattern of increasing intensity:
